Yesterday when I was feeling a little bit sorry for myself for not having gotten much done in 2011, I started making a list. What all HAD I accomplished? What had I left behind that I loved best? And the list surprised me. My book on Lories and Lorikeets was published in February. And I […]. By rebecca ••. Also posted in Conservation. Bonfire of the Rejections. Get Posts via Email.

Aquiling: March 2009
http://aquiling.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Peregrinations across the palearctic, in pursuit of eagles. Sunday, March 29, 2009. Getting Away. . . A few weeks ago I set off on a short trip across the west. I tend to get somewhat claustrophobic in Oklahoma. Norman in particular is cramped, crowded with trees and clustered buildings. It was a relief to be in the desert, in sage brush country, amid mountains and open spaces. Despite the snow that has recently swept across the country, that week was pristine, still and almost warm. I found endless ente...

Peregrinations across the palearctic, in pursuit of eagles. Wednesday, November 9, 2011. Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening". Whose woods these are I think I know,. His house is in the village, though;. He will not see me stopping here. To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer. To stop without a farmhouse near. Between the woods and frozen lake. The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake. To ask if there's some mistake. View my complete profile.

Aquiling: Hawking in Hungary
http://aquiling.blogspot.com/2011/11/hawking-in-hungary.html
Peregrinations across the palearctic, in pursuit of eagles. Wednesday, November 16, 2011. Abby Duvall, a falconer of Cornell who is currently working at the Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar, traveled to Hungary this past weekend to attend a meet and join up with my friend Dániel, a Hungarian falconer who is enjoying good success with his female golden eagle. I've been hawking in several European countries, but never Hungary. Abby is also a talented photographer and, clearly, she had a ball. Well, t...

Peregrinations across the palearctic, in pursuit of eagles. Sunday, November 13, 2011. I was sifting through old files in my computer and came across this photo. I love it. It is of Roy Lupton's male golden eagle, who I would hazard a guess is in his fourteenth season, and several dogs in Scotland, loading up after a day on the moor. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Aquiling: Falconry on the Isle of Arran
http://aquiling.blogspot.com/2009/02/falconry-on-isle-of-arran.html
Peregrinations across the palearctic, in pursuit of eagles. Friday, February 27, 2009. Falconry on the Isle of Arran. Two years ago, I was eating lunch with a friend at another eagle breeding project. Andrew and his family had very kindly "taken me in" that season. It was September, and no Bonelli's were calling to eachother, but a male was perched out in the garden, methodically preening in the perpetual Scottish drizzle. "Would you like to go to a falconry meet this weekend? March 2, 2009 at 12:07 AM.

Peregrinations across the palearctic, in pursuit of eagles. Tuesday, November 15, 2011. Check out this enchanting video of the earth at night, a time-lapse video captured from the International Space Station. The aurora flung high in the thermosphere, the illuminated veins of civilization, the vast swaths of darkness, the commonplace flickering of thunderstorms - how utterly humbling and lovely.

Harris' Hawk blog: May 2011
http://hawkingharrisblog.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
This blog is intended to cover different aspects of falconry, birds, and the animals that affect my life. Saturday, May 21, 2011. I'm thinking a lot about what is going to happen next season and the idea of a kestrel has cropped up more than once. Then I saw this little nugget over at Little Mews on the Prairie. It is a great little article. About the differences in kestrels and how to tell a passage falcon from a hag. I have a hard time with this, but the pictures really help. A walk with the dogs.
